Hi everyone, I got a four month old leopard tortoise hatchling about three weeks ago. He started off eating really well and very active for a baby. Over the past three or four days, he has gotten extremely lethargic and has stopped eating. After being very concerned I took him to the vet today and after he was X-rayed we determined he must have an upper respiratory infection. After we got home I gave him his medicine and he threw up a large, black, slimy blob. Is this normal for an upper respiratory infection or should I take him back to investigate something else? Also, my question is how have other peoples tortoises been with an upper respiratory infection? have they mostly lived? my vet gave me an oral antibiotic to give the tort every day. Thanks!
